this is interesting, because everyone will often make this decision. traders, investors, or speculators.

the term "HODL" appeared in 2013, and came from a GameKyubi post in this forum. with the big theme "I AM HODLING"

he posted the theme because bitcoin dropped to $ 600 from $1300.

and today, investors prefer hodl. but, what is the decision for traders today? or many investors are turning into traders?

Actually holders and traders two different people,I think traders makes profit everyday but holders need to waiting drop price depends how much it will pump. Remember it this time huge failed Bitcoin price and crypto market goes to down everyday.so now if you choice like hold then you can to do. Because shortly holding will give you more profitable.

Why not ...in dumping market how can I sell my Bitcoin, ethereum because when market was high rank then I bought bitcoin and ethereum but bearish market,how can I sell bitcoin. So only hold ...hold ...& Hold.

MORONITY is strong in this community,

Transactional trades in all human history have said "Cut your losses"

But in BITCOIN people are told to "HOLD THEIR LOSSES, ... all the way to zero"

INSANE is the btc community.

Well it actually depends if your strategy is to invest then people will tell you to hold, why? BTC community knows that price swings are really insane in crypto currency, but they do know that in the long run it goes up. Now if you are a day trader then cut your losses by all means.

I remember an a video in you tube where Warren Buffet is being interviewed. I cant remember the exact numbers but I remember that Mr. Buffet has -60% on his stocks if you are wondering what is the stock it was Coca Cola now that stock is worth Millions. Why did he not cut his loss well because he just stick to his strategy.

There is a difference between HODLERS and TRADERS. Hodlers are those who will just wait for the right time to sell while Traders will do trading on bull or dip. I am both actually, i have coins that i prefer to HODL but there are also certain of coins that i trade everyday.

Looking at the current state of Bitcoin now, it is advisable for investors to buy more bitcoins and hodl it. The bitcoin market will be experiencing a bull run very soon. Let's buy and hodl. Bull run is coming very soon

I've been a HODLER and I can't say I've always enjoyed it or regretted it. The key thing is that the decision still rest with each and every trader to make.

And this is the same thing that I saw in another topic, and it also states the user "GameKyubi" and saying that he was drunk and the whole HODL thing started because he was drunk and mistyped the word HOLD, and thus the word HODL became the trademark, its quite hilarious but I think the OP just reposted this one, nonetheless it is quite informative and entertaining at the same time.

in my opinion, HODL or not, it has been the decision of each trader, because they also certainly have a goal, whether it is long-term or short-term. as long as they can be wise, that's not a problem. If everyone is hodl, it's not good either. the coin trading volume will also shrink

It's a good idea to risk a little also with some utility tokens, like PRL for an example. If it succeeds, hodlers will be well off. If not, there's still a practical use for the stash.

There is no general consensus or agreement as to which is the right path to take while investing/trading,it all has to do with which is convenient for you and likely to yield you profits after you must have studied the marketcap and make your own speculations/predictions

There are investors with a life long investment and wouldn't even sell if the price hits 50kUSD, there are also some who are waiting for a minor pump to sell off, decisions vary so does investments(capital)

Traders aren't much of hodlers and they are in for the short term profits, while investors trade long term (mostly invest with larger capital than the normal trader)and maximize larger profits

That's right. Many people just hold onto their assets or coins since it's the best way to save your investment from being hit by a definite loss. It's like you're just waiting for the perfect time on when to cash out depending on the status of the coin in the market. The usual is that most people, especially these days, try to patiently hold so that they won't experience a loss if they sell for a lower value from the price point they bought their assets for. Since the market is always shifting in trends and is changing prices, mostly decreasing, it gives an investor the bird's eye view to see the market as a who while waiting to see if selling would be a good move or not depending on the status of the coins and them market.

I think that the main rule is not to be a panicseller. If the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency increased, this does not mean that you need to go around. Hodl is more likely about panic situations in the market.

Once you do holding the first thing that you need to avoid is become panic seller. Many people become panic seller once they see the price of a token is going down and you must know that panic selling is not good idea for a hodler.

Investors prefer holding because they have to wait for future time which may be near or far in order to realize profit from their investments. Meanwhile, the traders can make profit whether the price is up or down. So anyone may want to opt for trading if you have the knowledge.

The term 'hodl' is widely accepted and appreciated by all stakeholders in the world of cryptocurrencies. I think most traders and investors usually hodl no matter what happens on the crypto market in order to prevent panic trading.

Yes. Hodlers and traders are two different things.

Hodlers tend to do nothing and are only waiting for the right time to sell. While traders, they are the ones that are actively trading regardless of the market condition, they will continue to trade, in dip or in bulls. No stats with this but majority now would choose to hold.

Yes, I completely agree with your opinion on this topic. Those who hodl the coins are just waiting for the time until the price of the coin will increase. And traders don't think about the market situation, they do consistently trading the coins as per the daily basis.

Miners and whales are making a ton of money on leverage trading. They are manipulating the market, stealing some poor guys money.

I think some whales losses too. Depending on how they play. We cannot really say they are stealing poor guys money here. Those poor people are supposed to be smart and equipped with trading skills if they want to survive the market. This is not a walk in the park thing.

I think it mainly depend on terms of investment. Every investors has their own strategy. Traders are continuously active in the market and it is important to remember for them not to panic in unstable situations.
